A House-Senate conference committee has been charged with putting together an election reform bill for the governor’s signature.

Last week, the state Senate passed a version that would allow early voting for state and federal elections and primaries, let residents register to vote on Election Day and register online, and allow 16- and 17-year-olds to pre-register before they turn 18.

Other changes include a higher threshold for putting voters on the inactive list. That can be done now if a resident fails to fill out the annual census; the Senate bill would require a voter to miss two consecutive federal elections and fail to respond to a note from the municipality before being deemed inactive.
